GENESIS – Center for Human Reproduction

GENESIS – Center for Human Reproduction was created in 1986 in Passo Fundo, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, as a result of the efforts of its founder, Dr. Alcides Tarasconi, due to the growing population requirements of proper infertility treatment. The work in the field of Human Reproduction has made possible the birth of the first children following Intrauterine Insemination in 1993. As a consequence of the experience acquired, Dr. Tarasconi and his team were responsible for the birth of twins following In Vitro Fertilization in 1998, that represented the first successful IVF in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, outside its capital (city of Porto Alegre). Nowadays, with more than 20 years of scientific and technologic development in assisted reproductive techniques, our center encompass adequate structure to support from the basic treatments of infertility to the most complexes cases of oncologic patients seeking fertility preservation and preimplantation genetic diagnosis/screening.
